A Brave Soldier.

From the Albany (Go) Ne,oS and advertiser
Old man Jacob Davis, the well known
peddler of this section, was one of the
bravest of the many dauntless soldiers who
wore the gray. His comrades in arms love
him for the dangers that he braved so
heroically, and many times has the writer
heard of deeds of valor done by the old man
when the battle ragged hottest.
He was member of Company b, Second
Georgia, under Ranse Wright, and went
with his command into the historic battle
of the Wilderness. In that battle he dis
tinguished himself by the capture of a
Union battle flag bearing the device: God
Save the Union"
His company led charge on the Yankee
battery. and he was the first to mount the
breastworlzs, just when the standard bearer
held aloft his colors as a rallying point for
his demoralized comrades.
Uncle Jacob went for him and demanded
the surrender of the colors, but was met
with refusal. With fixed bayonet he pre-
pared to transfix the brave Union soldier,
and in the rencounter worsted him and Just
as he was about TO plunge the bayonet into
the color bearers PROSTATE form, the latter
gave the Masonic sign of distress. Uncle
Jacob was not a Mason, but Confed
crate, recognizing the sign of distress,
rushed up and interposed himself between
them, and thus saved the life of the Union
soldier.
Uncle Jacob, after assisting in spiking
the guns of the enemys battery bore the
colors he had captured off in triumph and
delivered them at Confederate headquar-
terS.
Mr.. Davis goes to Macon this morning to
be with the old veterans in the, possibly,
last review of the soldiers of the Lost
Cause" by the grand old chieftain, jefferson
Davis.

The pupils of Rollins College, at Winter

court is organized, a trial had, and if guilty,
the culprit is punished. Yesterday trial was

lady pupils from Orlando figured on the
south side of "vs.n 1t appears that the

tickets of others. That was regarded as
fragrant violation. A court was organized
during the recess, to prosecuting attorneys

The trial proceeded, and during the ex-

From the Atlanta (Gd.) Journal
Col j. B. Towers, the principal keeper of
the penitentiary, is quiet, dignitied gentle
man, but his acquaintance know that he is
as firm as a rock when aroused.
An incident occurred at the csr-shed

in the trial of policeman before the COM

for Marietta. He went into wide open
entrance near the baggage room. and was
making his way into the depot.
Col. Towers says that four or five persons
one Of them lady-paSsed in ahead OF
him. The policeman shook hands with those
people and let them pass
Col Towers had gotten little past the
policeman when he jerked him back and
said
You can't pass here
81 see Others going in" said the Colo
mel
"Wel, you can't go in" and with this the
policeman ierked Col. Towers back again
and ratified his club. Col. Towers threw up
his walkingstick good stout one, and
said
keep your hands off me, sir If you
touch me again will break your head"
In spite of his so years, Col Towers,
with an uplifted stick, is not a pleasant
man to tackle He is very muscular, and
when enraged his action is quick and vigor-
Gus.
The policeman said to him:
''If you were not an old man l would
show you my authority"
Just consider me ., if you want to
show your authority that way" said Col.
Towers
There the matter ended, and Col Towers
went to another gate, where he was admit
ted without difficulty.
He says he saw other people go in after he
was refused admission, and that no police
man had right to exclude him when he
had a ticket. He says that he viii find out
the name of that policeman if it takes six
months, and he win report him to the com

A GENTLE SCHOOL A K

Taunton. Mass, Special: Kate Ware, a
young lady teacher in one of Raynham's
public schools, noticed a seven-year-old son
of i. l. Lowell cutting his desk with a jack
knife a few days g o. She reprimanded him
and minated that she would whittle his
fingers If he persisted. The boy did it some
more. and the teacher took his knife and de-
liberately cut his thumb, causing it to bleed.
The boy was very much alarmed, and when
he informed his parents they were very much
annoyed
I'll young lady of heroic measures was
seen, and gave it as her opinion That she was
justified in doing as she did The superin-
tendent OF schools then interviewed her, and
succeeded in changing her mind TO such an
extend that she visited the father and made
q most abject apology for what's she had done.
The father paid no attention to the apology
and the Young lady was arrested. She was
brought to Taunton this morning. but by the
advice of friends on both sides the case was
fixed up by the father of the boy acknow-
Lodging satisfaction and the young lady pay
ing the cost of the case.

Pith and Point.

When a mans nose is .'as red as a
beet he usually is one.
After a man has painted things red,
he is very apt to be blue himself.
The man who paints the town red
frequently gets ONE of the paint on
his nose.
Some of the men who attract most
attention in this world are those with
red noses.
The bluest man in the day time is al
ways the n who is painting the town
red at night.
A phrenologist says that f~ullness an
der the eye denotes language. Red
ness between the eyes speaks for itself.
Red noses are said to be signs Of in
sanity. Train-loads of lunatics came
in town to-day, according to this doc
trine.
Darrirger-There is nothing that
will drive a man to drinking quicker
than despair. Bromley-There's one
thing will. what is thatp" .sThifst.n
Diplomacy: Gentleman of Honor-
"Barkeep', gi' me q glass Of awful
whisky; I want my girl to break off our

on her.
First tramp-It's q pity that they
haven't got that nose of yours in New
York. Second tramp-Whyp First
tramp-They would use it to light the
statue of Liberty.
Sam Small says it takes more money
80 paint nose red than it does to paiEt
the Capitol at Washington with the
best white lead in the world. There is
nothing mysterious about this. They
don't paint noses red with white lead.
Which is the better weather for
your business" was a question put to a
downtown bartender, s.hot or coldp"
ut doesn't make much difference" he
replied; lin hot weather they take q
little something to cool EN- of, and in
cold weather they take a little sosne-
thing to warm 'em up.

you broke your engagement with Mr..

tory and presidents residence for the university
OF North Dakota. BY Williams of Burleigh, TO

Fletcher, of the temperance committee,
to-day introduced a substitute for his local
option bill. In its principal provisions it Isl
copy of the original bill, but omits some
features which IL is thought weakened the
chances or It's passage without materially
strengthening the purposes OF the bill III en-
acted. Mr.. Fletcher expresses the opinion
that the bill will pass in the house:
The bill provides that on Petition of 200
voters OF any county the question OF the sale OF
intoxicating liquors shall be submitted to a

jority vote shall decide.

4 Sealskin Sacque Not a Me-
ceSSitY.

Judge Levy has rendered Judgment
for the defendant in the case Of ii.
Liches and others against Robert
Haight. The court says: This is an
appeal trcm the justices court in an
action brought by plaintiff to
the snm of $149.5 so, balance alleged to
be due for the purchase of a sealskin
cloak by the wife of the defendant from
said plaintiff. The price agreed upon
was $3.50. The evidence shows that at
The time of said purchase the defendant
and his wife resided under the same
roof. bat occupied different apartments;
that the defendant Haight at all times
furnished his wife with all articles nee
essary for her support; that she pur-
chased said cloak without the knowl-
edge or consent of her husbands; that
she paid the sum of SOL on said &C
count; that tine defendant is a man pos
sessed of about Sc, 600. which he has in
vested in bus ness, and from which he
derives an income of about $3.50 per
IiOHLn, anu luaL from Sdlu lnCOIHo H0
supported his family. 1t is contended
by counsel that a $3.50 sealskin cloak is
a necessary article. | cannot arrive at
such a conclusion. 1t would certainly
be unjust to compel any man to work
for two months for his wife to obtain
the luxury of a sealskin cloak, and DUR
ing that time be compelled to contract
an Indebtedness for the common neces-
saries of life. To adopt such rule a
wife would be entitled to 60 to some
jewelry store and purchase jewels to
tho extent Of her husbands assets and
to hold him responsible would be to
bankrupt him. AS the defendant did
not neglect to supply the adequate nee
essaries for the support of his wife. and
as the said article purchased was not
necessary for her support, it is there
fore ordered that the judgment be en-
tered in favor of defendant with COSTS
